Thank you @llinos_medi and @RhunapIorwerth for taking the time yesterday to listen to the concerns of someone receiving respite care and support from the brilliant and dedicated team working at this unique and important local facility.

🥁 BANGING the #MND drum ELEVEN years ago today, in memory of my Dad. SIX people a day are now diagnosed with this hideous disease, and SIX people die a day! #MND is NOT rare; they reason so few are living with this horror is because so many are dying! #MND #MoreNeedsDoing!

Welcome to @MaelorForest Nurseries.🌱 They grow an amazing 35 million trees every year!🤯🤯 Remember – we want your views on how wood can work for Wales. Have your say on our Timber Industrial Strategy before 16 April. Here's @Huw4Ogmore with more👇 https://t.co/0MgKqxMaw1

The number one take home message from our AOD detection workshops was that Agrilus emergence holes may be smaller than you think!

Have you seen this beetle? If you think you have spotted signs of this beetle then please submit your findings via the Tree Alert form 👇 https://t.co/F3FDSQgqO1

Wow!! Just wow! Amazing fundraising activities like this (the generosity of those taking part & those donating to the cause) provide both practical support and a degree of optimism to those of us currently living with this indiscriminate and debilitating condition. Thank you!

👋🏼 Come say hello to us at the @APFExhibition. The stand is looking amazing and has lots of helpful information inside, as well as our team of experts who are ready to answer any of your tree health questions. Tickets online: https://t.co/mH5TdVL3gS #APF2024 @ForestryComm

Chris Berman and the Asian longhorn beetle - a specimen safely encased in plastic and a giant-sized relative... 😱

Alex Lewis, Amirah, and a couple of caterpillars - one of which (the oak processionary moth larva, on Alex's shoulder) definitely shouldn't be approached in real life! https://t.co/RF5pfSh9VJ

Pete "emerald ash borer" van Velzen having been rumbled by our advisory entomologist Amirah Nigoumi! (What's that creature behind you Pete?)

Geoff Hogan carefully placing some broadleaved trees into the landscape, with the aim of maximising the range of ecosystem benefits delivered by appropriate woodland creation and management.

Robert Matthews - the brains behind our woodland creation and management game - taking a well-earned break next to @Forest_Research's Silver Medal certificate and half a tonne of carbon stored in Douglas-fir timber.

Llongyfarchiadau / Congratulations to the brilliant, dedicated and hard-working @Forest_Research team, who were awarded a Silver Medal earlier this week for their amazing and diverse educational activities on Stand 806. Diolch yn fawr pawb / thank you very much everyone! 😀

The best way of minimising the chances of populations of this insect pest from increasing is by active management of spruce stands to remove potential material used for breeding and larval development, e.g., dead, dying, snapped, windblown, and otherwise stressed spruce trees.
